MOJO 228 ~ God's Mercy

Hope you and yours are having a wonderful day! If you would like to take a look at this week's Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light challenge check here.

I'm popping in with a second post today to share a card based on the recent Mojo Monday sketch...



I found a fun rose embellishment recently on a trip to Michaels. And this sketch proved to be just the inspiration I needed.



The Labels One Die cut was embossed with a Sizzix folder. All edges were heavily distressed and inked. I nestled the rose on a kraft circle die cut and added some die cut leaves for interest. The sentiment is part of a sentiment from ODBD's The Sea. I covered the parts of the sentiment I did not want to stamp with scotch tape, inked it up and then carefully removed the tape. I then stamped just the words God's Mercy. Love the scotch tape technique! Thanks for stopping in and pray you have a wonderful Sabbath! Blessings...

Extraordinary

This sentiment just says it all! It is the simple things that make life so extraordinary. Snowflakes for example... Each one is unique and beautiful. Of course, if you are looking at several inches of those unique creations... you might feel differently! lol... Think back to your childhood. Do you remember how we looked forward to snow? I remember wishing for just one more snow day! Back then it was all about living in the moment. Tests and other school chores could wait but enjoying the joys of winter could not. Maybe this year when we get some of the "white stuff" I won't be so grumpy about it. I might just strap on some boots and go out and play! It doesn't hurt to be a kid once in awhile! Blessings...

Today's card features some new 12 x 12 paper from Bo Bunny's Snowfall collection plus a brand new release from Our Daily Bread Designs' Blessings Collection, Little Things...



A closer view... the ribbon is already printed on the paper... and the snowflake... punched out with a circle punch and added with dimensional foam... easy peazy... And look at how pretty that sentiment looks stamped on the panel! I love coordinating papers. They do all the work for me!
